The first in a three-part series of limited 10”s rewiring Swedish experimental dub/drone artist Mokira, aka Andreas Tilliander. ‘Time Track’ is the deepest of dub music and electronic gear has seldom sounded this organic. Rolling cords and bassline builds slowly towards the dub meltdown. On the b-side Silent Servant produces a rolling wall of sound. This is a high energy, metallic sounding dance piece ready to serve djs around the globe. To be played loud, not silent.
International techno collective and record label Sandwell District release their debut studio album. Feed-Forward, features previously unreleased techno cuts by the three central Sandwell artists – Dave Sumner as Function, Karl O’Connor as Regis and Juan Mendez as Silent Servant, with additional input from Female. A trademark, highly effective array of big industrial beats, off-kilter riffs and icy strings can be expected.
Sect receives the awe-inspiring accolade of remixes of Jolka’s magnificent ‘Five’ from two of the most trustworthy guardians of the craft, Surgeon & Silent Servant.
Darker stripped techno tracks that are actual lost tracks from ’98, now being released with remixes of Sandwell District, Silent servant and CH-Signal.
This new Semantica release is a bit different than the last few releases. A more dancefloor orientated house/techno hybrid, but still of the same high quality as always. Comes with a remix by Oscar Mulero!
The seven tracks spread across these 12″s apparently have nothing to do with the eagerly awaited Sandwell District album, which is due out later in summer, around the time the international collective is scheduled to headline the Sonar festival in Barcelona.

BB. Female (Regis Edit)
Sexy and utterly deadly techno from Vangelis and Vidal Vargas aka Raíz, backed with a serious edit from label head Silent Servant aka John Mendez. The duo’s original mix is a stealthy Latin shuffler offsetting slinky 909 percussion with a bumbum bass slide that makes our pasty asses want to dance. On the flip Silent Servant reinforces the Latin kink with a bronzed bass pound but still manages keeps the subtle shuffle intact.
